Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced

Sauce

  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded parmesan cheese, divided
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic salt or seasoned salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Garnish

  • Chopped parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Thinly slice the boneless, skinless chicken breasts to ensure even cooking and better absorption of the creamy sauce.
  2. Mix the sauce: In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, 1 cup of shredded parmesan cheese, minced garlic, garlic salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Stir until all ingredients are thoroughly blended to form a creamy mixture.
  3. Coat the chicken: Gently toss the sliced chicken breasts in the creamy garlic parmesan sauce until they are well coated on all sides.
  4. Cook the chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the coated chicken slices and cook for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and golden on the outside.
  5. Add remaining parmesan: Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese over the cooked chicken, allowing it to melt slightly for extra flavor and creaminess.
  6. Garnish and serve: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm with your favorite sides such as steamed vegetables, pasta, or rice.

Notes

  • For a lower-fat version, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
  • You can add crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
  • Ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
  • This dish pairs well with garlic mashed potatoes or a fresh green salad.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
